Weekly Recap and Local Links

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend! If you’re scrambling to put together plans for the mom in your life, here are nine places for Mother’s Day Brunch and 20 creative pancake toppings. My mother’s day plans involve sleeping in and then later cooking dinner in a child-free kitchen. While I appreciate my husband’s offer to prepare breakfast in bed for me with the help of our three children, (all under age 6) last year this resulted in a broken bottle of red wine and spilled mug of coffee all over my Pottery Barn duvet cover, R.I.P. So, this year I’ve requested he take the kids outside while I cook one of my favorite meals: bruschetta and grilled marinated steak with asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes. And s’mores for dessert, naturally. Here is what you might have missed this week from LoHud Food and some local food links.
